Highland Park is a neighborhood park located on the Near Eastside of Indianapolis, Indiana.

Highland is comprised of 4.09 acres of hilly, semi-shaded parkland that is primarily surrounded by older, single-family, residential housing units. The park was acquired in 1898 and, as a result of its "hilly" topography and nearness to downtown, has been a long-time favorite location for viewing the downtown skyline and city fireworks displays on July 4th.

The park is situated within the boundaries of the Holy Cross Neighborhood Association. As a result of this association, the park enjoys a strong neighborhood "ownership" that is exemplified by the many volunteer recreation programs, park maintenance, and policing efforts that occur there.
